ACTION
Before-class preparation: Technology: Gather Internet resources students can use for research into job interviewing techniques, different modalities of interview (Skype, phone, in person). Estimate time needed for each task in lesson plan. Identify prerequisites for this lesson (computer skill level). Decide order of operations (before, during and after lesson). Plan back up activities to cover allotted time and allow for technical difficulties. Create a PowerPoint presentation on steps to build a wiki.
Student guidelines: Prepare graphic organizer and resources handouts (duplicate for students). Prepare PowerPoint presentation for introduction to wiki. Prepare wiki handout to accompany PowerPoint presentation. Prepare guidelines for group activities and team leader responsibilities.
Prepare learning environment: Boot up computers; make sure Internet connection is online, and Microsoft PowerPoint and Word are working properly; check lighting in classroom; set out materials for distribution to students; write lesson objective on whiteboard; prepare to greet students upon arrival.
